Definitions

  • Full duplex radio frequency (RF) transmitter-receivers and transceivers have been capable of simultaneously transmitting and receiving RF signals.
  • the transmit bands and the receive bands have been offset from each other to minimize interference at the receiver from the outgoing transmitter signals. Even though the transmit bands are different from the receive bands, components from the transmitted signal may still leak into the received signals at the receiver causing interference. This interference has reduced the sensitivity of the receiver so that the receiver has a reduced capability of receiving fainter signals.
  • the estimator circuit models a transmitter baseband nonlinearity before modeling nonlinearity between the transmitter and the receiver of the full duplex radio, the output of the transmitter baseband nonlinearity model used as an input for the modeling of nonlinearity between the transmitter and the receiver.
  • the estimator circuit :
  • the method may further comprise:
  • nonlinear signal distortion model may also include linear terms in addition to nonlinear terms.
  • the linear terms may be used to model certain linear functions, such as the effects of a frequency change in frequency division duplexing mode. Any other types of signal distortion caused by the transmitter, including but not limited to clocking spurs or sampling images, may also be modeled to estimate an impact of the distortion on the received signals. The results of the modeling may be used to cancel and remove the distortions from the received signals.
  • a low pass filter 182 may be coupled to the DAC 181 and may attenuate the converted analog signals of the outgoing signal at DAC 181 that are higher than a predetermined cutoff frequency.
  • a mixer 183 may be coupled to the low pass filter 182 and an oscillating signal selected to shift the frequency of the filtered analog signal from a baseband frequency to a transmission frequency used to transmit the outgoing filtered analog signal.
  • a power amplifier 184 may be coupled to the mixer 183 to amplify the shifted signal from a low power RF signal to a high power signal for driving the transmitter antenna.
  • the transmitter 185 may be coupled to the power amplifier 184 to transmit the high power signal.
  • the amplifier 187 may be coupled to a mixer 188.
  • the mixer 188 may be coupled to an oscillating signal selected to shift the frequency of the amplified incoming signal to a predetermined baseband receiver frequency used in processing the received incoming signal.
  • a second decimator 291 may be coupled between the subtractor 260 and an ADC 290 converting the incoming received analog signal at the receiver 286 to digital code.
  • the second decimator 250 may downsample the digitized incoming received signal to a predetermined output frequency matching that the of first decimator 250 before the subtractor 260 subtracts the decimated estimator output from the decimated digitized incoming signal. This subtracting may cancel the modeled nonlinear distortion from the transmitter in the received incoming signal.
  • a low pass filter 289 may be coupled to the mixer 288 and may attenuate the frequency shifted received incoming signals that are higher than a predetermined cutoff frequency.
  • An ADC 290 may be coupled to the low pass filter 289 to convert the analog filtered incoming signals into digital codes.
  • An adaptive engine 270 may be coupled to the estimator circuit 220, a incoming received signal input to the subtractor 260, an output of the subtractor 260, interpolator 210 and/or an input to the estimator circuit 220.
  • the adaptive engine 270 may be configured to compare an output of the subtractor 260 (after subtracting the mixed estimator circuit output from the digitized incoming signal) to the digitized incoming signal and the outgoing digital signal.
  • the adaptive engine 270 may identify an error in the modeled nonlinearity at the estimator circuit 220 based on the comparing.
  • the adaptive engine 270 may modify at least one nonlinearity model coefficient in one or more nonlinearity models, such as models 221 and/or 222, in the estimator circuit 220 to reduce the identified error.
  • An estimator circuit 320, mixer 330 and subtractor 360 may be provided each offor one or more of the channels.
  • An estimator circuit 320 may receive a digitzed outgoing signal before it is converted to an analog signal at ADC 381 and may be coupled to ADC 381.
  • the estimator circuit 320 may also include a nonlinear signal distortion model 321 and may model nonlinear signal distortion between the transmitter 385 and the receiver 386 for one or more of the respective channels.
  • the estimator circuit 320 may output a modeled distortion customized for each of the respective channels.
  • a mixer 330 and subtractor 360 may be provided for each of the channels.
  • the estimator circuit 320 may include one or more nonlinearity signal distortion models, which may include models 321, 221, and 222.
  • a delay units and/or decimator, such as delay unit 240 and decimator 250 may be coupled to each mixer 330 on a channel by channel basis to synchronize the estimated distortion with a corresponding section of the received signal and/or downsample the mixed estimator circuit output for a respective channel to a frequency of the incoming received signal or to another predetermined output frequency before the subtractor 360 subtracts the downsampled estimator output from the incoming signal.
  • An adaptive engine such as adaptive engines 270 and/or 370, may also be to each of the estimator circuits in the multi transmitter-receiver embodiments as discussed above with respect to FIGS. 2 and 3 to modify one or more model coefficients in the estimator circuits to further reduce an error in the model.
  • the digitized incoming and outgoing RF signals may be channelized and split into one or more channels on a channel by channel basis.
